Founded by a Group of Brothers

When Samuel, Lipman and Marcus Younker opened their first store in 1856, they truly served the community by strapping merchandise to their backs and heading out into the rural areas. After closing their original location in Keokuk, Iowa, they relocated to Des Moines and became the first store in town to hire female sales clerks. Younkers quickly became the place to be seen in Iowa's capital city, and we were even the first American department store to fully air condition its building. We've grown to include 49 stores in seven states, but we still hold ourselves to our identity as a friendly company that places customer satisfaction above anything else.
